The ball gag is a popular style for bondage scenes. This is the kind of gag you want to use when you want ultimate control over the situation, and the wearer has no say in what you’re doing to them! While making sounds is still possible, because the ball fits behind the teeth it becomes difficult to move the tongue properly. Pretty much the only thing you can do is squeal or grunt.

Obviously the models available will all be variations on a theme, but there is quite a wide range available with the ball made from different materials e.g. rubber, silicone or plastic. For a safer option you can get something that is also known as a wiffle gag, which has a hollow plastic ball with holes in to allow airflow. This could be an option for those only starting to experiment with gags, or perhaps if you have asthma.

They mostly come with a single strap round the back of the head but the ball gag also lends itself to harness fitting, that has more straps to secure it in place. You can get some that simply tie as well, though given most people’s ability with knots I’d suggest a mechanical fastener in preference.

This well-regarded 2 inch ball gag features press-studs and an adjustable strap making it easy to fit and remove. With the option of a red or black ball giving you an choice to vary from the traditional black!
